Jon Pardi throws a party for the end of the world

Capitol Nashville’s new country singer Jon Pardi doesn’t put a lot of stock in the centuries old Mayan prediction that the end of the world will come on Dec. 21 – in fact, he’s throwing a months-long party to celebrate it.

Dubbed “The Year of the Pardi,” the singer will post a series of videos on his website of the band’s adventures and some behind-the-scenes footage over the next few months.

“If you didn’t know, supposedly the end of the world is coming up Dec. 21, 2012,” Pardi says in his first webisode. “That makes it the year of the party. We’re going to live it up, ride around in this van, hopefully a bus one day. We’re going to do challenges, yell at each other, and have a good time.”=

The year of the Pardi will culminate in an end of the world bash at Joe’s Bar in Chicago on Dec. 21.

“Joe’s Bar is one of my favorite clubs to play and if the world really is going to end, I can’t think of a better place to spend what might be our last night on earth,” says Pardi in a statement. “But if we survive, we’ll party like there’s no tomorrow, all night long!”

Pardi’s single “Missing You Crazy” is now at country radio. For more information on Pardi, visit www.jonpardi.com.
